SEO - Why Poets Sometimes Write Great Google Ads
September 3, 2008 4:40 am adwordsIf you are a poet you have probably realized that there is not
much work that you can do well that fits in the category of
SEO writing. In fact you might be devoid of a lot of online
work in general. Usually all poets get online is the
occasional assignment where someone wants a toast written for
a speech, a greeting for a card or a specialty poem written
for his or her site for his or her holidays. Often this
writing pays less then $50.
However if you are really good with words you might be
successful at writing for clients who need Google Adword Ads.
This is kind of like writing like a haiku and is especially
suited to the poetic mind, which is used to writing within
word perimeters. There are letter, word and character count
limits so many poets find writing Google Ads a delightful
challenge.
Google Adword writing is considered to be a specialty niche
and you can charge between $20 - $30 for each three line Ad.
There is a knack to it and many marketers just can’t do it.
People are more than willing to pay this for an ad that gets
them traffic on Google. The trouble is you have to be good at
it and understand the business of keywords and how to SEO a
Google Ad in the first place.
Keep in mind this is not a guaranteed income if you are a poet
and in terms of freelance writing the equivalent of cold
calling. However if you are a poet it might be worth your
while to post a profile on elance or guru as some SEO
marketers looking for this skill do realize that poets are the
best at this type of writing! It is definitely a niche worth
developing not only for a client’s business but also in terms
of maximizing your own business.
